Pursuing Holiness, Part 2b

February 15, 2012
In a world that scoffs at Christian morals and values, it's more difficult than ever to maintain a life that's set apart for God. Fortunately the Bible gives us a few strategies for battling temptation. We can start by remembering one of the basic doctrines of our faith, that Jesus is coming back! Today on Focal Point, Mike Fabarez reminds us to keep Jesus' return on the forefront of our minds.
References: Romans 13:11-12

Culture is doing its best to convince the world there is nothing special about Jesus. And, as Christians, sometimes we have a difficult time communicating the historical facts of the resurrection. Jesus' victory over death is central to the Christian faith and now you can get straightforward and practical facts from history why we can believe Jesus really did rise from the dead.
